Service Time


Recommended Posts

Posted

My car's just broken through the 20k mile mark.

Think that's 3,000 since I got it so gonna put her in for a service when I get hame from work.

If you were me, with my 2008 Hatch... where would you take it?

Lawrence of Kemnay?

Autoecosse?

or further afield like John R Weir or Ian Grieve to use my SIDC discount?

I want to keep with subaru service stamps (prefereably approved) cos will likely trade in next year some time.

Thaaaanks!

Looks like good votes for Autoecosse - thanks!

Now for a wee bit of advice please...

I work away month on month off... car hardly gets a run when i'm away - so low mileage. However, Subaru service intervals also have the time duration thing.

If I was to go with miles alone (20,000k) - I think all I'm due is a periodic oil change. However, if I go by time duration - car is almost 36 months old (equivalent service mileage 30k) and will be due a big-ass service with inspections on various parts. Do ye need to go with the time intervals for the service - or is mileage good enough. I check oil regularly - and it's never dropped since I got it.

Will an oil change be enough or do I need to get the full whack one?

<please nae the full whack een! haha>

How did I know ye were gonna say that! Ach well, looks like I'll need to dig deep. Maybe for the best though cos am booked for a remap in July - service before that prob nae a bad thing.

Went to Autoecosse - thanks for recommendations. Didn't feel ripped off and friendly service!

Said I'd been recommended from a forum and Graeme (I think his name was) said - "who was the recommendation from? Craig?" haha, so maybe ye'll get a freebie or something lol
